I've heard there's no camber adjustability. Does it have a limited slip? If you buy the sports-package you get a viscous limited-slip differential, 19-in. forged Rays wheels, Bridgestone tires, Akebono brakes, and the stupid synchroRev Match trans. From everything I've seen the Rev Match on the 6-s...

Welcome! I'm pretty new to Auto-X too. The guys in ETR are pretty helpful, so you can feel free to ask them anything. Glad to see some more BMWs, way too much muscle here. lol

I drove up yesterday and it was raining, but I just left the traction control on and gave it hell. Very fun til the G.F. got sick. OOps. I should have gone solo. Zero traffic and zero cops made for a good run.

I don't know about you guys, but I beat in my car harder on the street more than I do at an Auto-X. These are short runs and assuming you have any driving skill at all, you aren't really bouncing off the limiter or slamming gears. I mean, when I watch someone like James drive that Z, I'm amazed how ...

Re: Suspension setup advise

Everyone advise is much appreciated. I'm not a car expert, but in my bike experience when you really start playing with the overall ballance of a machine you HAVE to take it all one step and one change at a time. I also think you should try and get a good setup on this new stuff BEFORE the 'season'...

umm...it's a Rally Team USA car.
Actually it isn't. It's a car built strictly for his non-rally fun. They have the new body GRB Sti for rally. Still it is fully built.

I just wanted to say how much it helps to ride with an expirenced driver when you are new. I would like to get to know some of the other top guys in our area and take a ride here and there, just so I can watch what they do in the car. I wouldn't be anywhere near as decent as I am if I didn't have Er...
